Jody Hobbs, 31, Doncaster Hawks (EBBL), bought from Extremadabra (who are homegrown themselves – I wonder what made them get rid of a HOF draftee?) as a youngster. Played in one U21 scrimmage, but otherwise this will be his first involvement – does this make it my riskiest selecton?
Hi mate, the reason was money, even if it wasn't much, and training spots. The game is not designed to be able to compete while choosing to be full homegrown - Just last season I had to sell one of my best guys in order to keep playing the game, and those 2 millions are slowly disappearing. As for the spots, it was a moment when I had to swap into one-position training to make the push and just couldn't afford keeping him and still win matches I needed to win.
Tough decisions overall but always glad to see my trainees shine elsewhere.
Edit: I should clarify, when I say compete, I mean in a country with a fair number of active managers. Being homegrown in smaller communities is probably a different story if you can systematically stay up your league and generate enough money to maintain high salaries.
